VIVOSUN Reptile Heating Pad 8x12 Inch with Thermostat Combo Under Tank Terrarium Heating Mat Waterproof for Turtles, Lizards, Frogs, and Other Reptiles

Doesn’t heat up to the temperature I need it to be at. Pretty disappointed

Great for.what we needed

This is the third piece of equipment Ive bought from Vivosun, but it wont be the last. This is bigger and heavier than the ones at the pet stores, and cheaper! The adhesive is killer too. Worked perfectly right out of the box. Pair it with a Vivosun thermostat and you cant go wrong.

It’s easy enough to use but the mat just doesn’t have enough power to get the hotspot to anything above 80-90 and it’s a little frustrating.

I got everything set up and then plugged the thermostat in and nothing happened. Tried 3 different working outlets. :(

I’ve had it for a couple days now and so far it’s worked great heats up quickly and everything works as it should!!! Amazing price was a little worried about there quality but i knew vivosun is a good brand. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Thermostat is pretty on point however the heat mat does pretty much nothing barely heats at all after putting in substrate it is a good 20-30 degrees cooler than it should be. Definitely dont recommend this product for anything other than plants so for you reptile people out there dont waste your time on this get a real reptile heat mat and hook it to a thermostat. Have it set to 100°F and when i temp the substrate you are looking around 75 to 80 degrees on top if you are lucky. Again dont recommend for anything other than plants.

I ordered this heating pad for my daughters new Ball Python. Quick and easy set up and easy to use. The pad heats up to the temperature it’s set to and maintains that temperature.

Mat seems to be good quality, but the adhesive is terrible. After 1 day the heat mat came completely off the bottom of my reptile terrarium. Not a big deal because a bit of tape is a quick fix, but they should really address the adhesive problem, other heat mats I have used stick fine. Still a good heat mat for the price.

Moved up from Florida to Michigan about a week ago. I had bought two Of these not too long beforehand and they were OK but never got past 90°. All 6 of my animals now have to be put under lights and ceramic heat emitters because these are not going anywhere near 80° now that I’ve moved. All of my geckos almost died thanks to this product. Heat mat is fine but thermostat is awful. Tried playing around with different sockets but have worsening results. I will never buy from this company again.
